July 11th Event Suggests Lumia PureView Smartphone

July 11th Event Suggests Lumia PureView Smartphone

It has been quite some time since we saw Nokia unveil the 808 PureView, seemingly the final Nokia smartphone handset to not feature Windows Phone. The highlight of the handset was the 41 megapixel camera attached; something never seen before. The previous record holder was the Nokia N8 with an 8 megapixel camera, something available on most modern phones.

The question at the time was when we would see this feature come to the Lumia family. The question seems like it will be answered on July 11th, as Nokia is marketing a press event and live stream boasting "41 million reasons." If that isn't a Nokia Lumia PureView, I don't know what it could be.

Three has been talk of a Nokia Lumia EOS, including interchangeable lenses, like any other EOS camera, though I do not exactly expect to see that. Seeing Nokia bring their 41MP camera sensor to the flagship Lumia line, however, is something both expected and anticipated.

Are you excited for the possibility of a 41MP Lumia handset? Let us know in the comments. Also, make sure to be here on July 11th for our live blog of the event starting at 11AM.
